WI vs IND 2019: SWOT analysis of the Indian squad for ODI series against West Indies

#2 Weakness:

Mohammad Shami

West Indies who are currently placed at the ninth position in the ICC ODI rankings won a bilateral series against India for the last time back in 2006. India, though, being the second-best ODI side in the world can not afford to consider Jason Holder’s men as a weak side at their home. West Indies gave a very tough fight to England, the best ODI side and successfully drew the series by 2-2 at their home.

None of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammad Shami, or Khaleel Ahmed are reliable options in the slog overs. Navdeep Saini, the young speedster, was great for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League in the death overs. But, can he replicate that or even better it when he dons Blue jersey? Bhuvneshwar and Shami are pretty good with the new ball but they are also expensive in the death overs at times. With Hardik Pandya, the hard-hitting batsman being rested, Kohli’s army will also be worried about the finishing touch in the slog overs.
